SEND US YOUR JOB WORK THE NEWS-HERALD. Lawrence*!!!., Georgf* Circumstances - Forcing Scarecrow John Barleycorn Steadily Toward Blink of Oblivion. Atlanta, Ga., January 28.—Chorts of the whisky clique in Atlanta and vicinity, moonshiners, transporters, ■ end bootleggers—all of ’em—are go ing broke—dead broke. ! Buffeted by battering ram raids , that have torn into their resources j with the precision of a clock pendu lum swinging one way and then back again, coffers of the booze traffic are being drained, slowly but none the less surely. With a pint or two always in the hip pocket and a roll of long green) in another, bootleggers of a year ago were plying a profitable trade—fill ing leaks made in their money bags i by John Law with other shekels pro cured by intensified sales. But pockets that a year ago were well lined with Jewish silk are today inhabited only with clinking coppers —comparatively speaking. Like the hand of fate prodding a marked man to his doom, a choice ’ collection of circumstance:; are forc ing a scarecrow John Barleycorn steadily toward the brink of oblivion —and his helpless followers are be ing swept along the same tide. While law enforcement agencies ra operating with somewhat improv ed efficiency—making jt a bit harder ’or ’ledgers of today to escape—it is not particularly due to the fact that the whisky traffic is en route from' riches to rags on a greased road. It is the accumulation of years of work since the Volstead act sang John Barleycorn’s requiem when the old scoundrel faked a funeral accord ing to those “in the know.” Founda tion for the ruin was laid when first raiders entered a seemingly hopeless battle with the liquor ring. This coupled with a better spirit of co-operation on the part of the public—plus wiser laws and famili arity of law enforcement forces with the ground on which they were treading, is breaking up the booze traffic by breaking its members. Of course the. “higher ups” are still making money, but the constant rap-tap-tap of John Law’s club on their treasury doors is becoming “most annoying.” They are not so able to back their employes and con sequently the “hip pocket man”—the backbone of the business—is having the hardest row to hoe in his life. DEATH OF AN INFANT James Wilson, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Gunter, died at their home in Atlanta Sunday, and the remains were brought here Mon day for funeral and interment. Rev. L. E. Smith preached the funeral at the home of Mrs. A. W. Gunter with interment in the new cemetery. The baby' was the grandson of Mr. Ivtej-'f son Russell.

Here are a few items that I am not in favor of, and some that I am: I don’t believe in a county com missioner being clerk of hoard of eommisioners. I am not in favor of convicts staying in winter quarters the year round, and being transported to their work in trucks. Am not in favor of the county be ing cut in three departments, for there is more or less friction with board of commissioners. Believe in the tax payers knowing twice a year by an itemized state ment through the papers where their money has been spent. * In favor of all road taxes being spent in the district where it was collected. Under the system that Gwinnett county has been run for several years, I can’t see why a man can’t save the county at least $3,000 per year. Respectfully, W. B. HOPSON.
